IMO there aren't any good unlimited plans out there. Most drop you to slower speeds.
I'm on a grandfathered verizon unlimited plan. Unlimited 4g data. When we moved into our house and didnt have internet for a month I used over 80gb of data tethering. |

For comparison purposes, I am paying about $65/month (with a 2 year contract) for a Note 4 with a 1000 min/4 Gb/1000 SMS package.

Does that $50 include the device, or is jut for "airtime"?
My Note 4 is included in my plan. Total phone cost for two phones was $629. Total two year cost is $2189, or $1094.50 per phone. If I was on my own plan, I'd be paying $45/mo for 5GB, making my total cost for the Galaxy S6 is $1380 for two years. At $65/mo on your plan it's $1560 for two years. Then again, I'm on prepaid and no data roaming. |
I have data roaming everywhere, no cares. Unlimited yo
|
The only time I think I'm not on wifi is when I'm driving in the car. I don't need data at that time anyway. PovertyFi yo.

Holy smokes, right, taxes. Shit.
Anytime people rationalize tax hikes by saying "It's only a little bit, you won't feel it" I think of countries who have been saying that for years and now have just... ridiculous taxes on goods. it hurts. |
Hey, at least gas is cheap over here these days.
It's only $6/gal. |
I gave you a likecat to help you feel better.

Thanks, ditto.

Having been exposed to the central European model, in which the purchase of the phone is typically a separate transaction from the purchase of the service plan, I find the US model annoying.
That said, the true, un-subsidized cost of a higher-end, current-gen smartphone in the US is fairly high. If you buy an S7 or an i7 outright from Verizon, for instance, you'll pay $700-900, depending upon the specific model. |
The US model exists for historical reasons, but I agree, it's stupid and outlived whatever usefulness it once had.
This is why I now use T-mobile, they were the first US carrier to embrace the "Buy a phone, bring it here, buy the service you want without messing around with subsidies" model. My Nexus 5 is starting to fail -- awaiting the Google announcement next week. --Ian |

No damage of any kind that I can see, but I have utterly no idea yet what root cause was. That displeases me. |

Check headlight wiring. Just throwing it out there since mine started smelling but still worked
I've come to accept that this is just a thing I have to live with. Cars that I own occasionally catch fire for no adequate reason, then subsequently extinguish and continue on. Hopefully I'm not jinxing anything, but I haven't lost one to self-immolation yet. EDIT: I just realized that I forgot to create a "the journey west" thread for the most recent move. My apologies to everyone for that. It was a flat and boring drive during which I found myself routinely cursing the fact that the NB2 is geared exactly the same as a 1.6 NA but praising the Flying Spaghetti Monster for the fact that it has both cruise control and aircon (two amenities which are entirely new to me, and made me feel like I was driving an extremely uncomfortable, under-powered, cramped, noisy Rolls-Royce), there was a conspicuous absence of corn, I didn't stop anywhere interesting, the hotel was unremarkable and featured no unusual breakfast-manufacturing machines, I ate at McDonald's three times (discovering in the process that not all locations serve the Quarter Pounder Deluxe), the GPS didn't display anything surprising or counter-intuitive, there were no live fish trucks or blizzards, I averaged around 31 MPG, and didn't have slice the top off of an empty water bottle and then piss into it while driving. The end. |

Finally signed up for my first gun class tonight. I'm so excited.

Speaking of old fluids being horded, does anybody here want some R-12? I've been lugging it around for two decades now, and it's doubtful I'll ever use it.
